Fox Decides That Good Ratings Are Overrated
The Blueprint reveals that Fox will renew Tru Calling and Arrested Development, saving both struggling series from the brink of television euthanasia. What's really interesting about this is that Fox seems to have discovered an entirely new business model for television networks. At the new and improved Fox, even badly-rated shows can go on losing money and return for a second season. To celebrate this breakthrough, Fox president Gail Berman will officially present the Fall lineup on Thursday with a ceremonial shovelling of cash down an open elevator shaft.
